Cairn (First Edition)

Cairn (First Edition) is an adventure game for one facilitator (the Warden) and at least one other player. Players act as hardened adventurers exploring a dark & mysterious Wood filled with strange folk, hidden treasure, and unspeakable monstrosities.

Character generation is quick and random, classless, and relies on fictional advancement rather than through XP or level mechanics. Based on Into The Odd by Chris McDowall and Knave by Ben Milton, the rules are light but functional, leaving most rulings up to the Warden.
